I dined at the Melisse with friends on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was very romantic and relaxing. We decided to order our own food instead of doing the 3 1/2 hour, 9 course meal. The fish dishes were fresh and cooked, but yet as tender as sashimi. My King Salmon entree was so well done that I was very intrigued to pay a visit to the chef myself and get the receipe. As for desserts, we ordered a variety from the menu and mine was ""creatively"" named ""Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate""! I found the name misleading because when the dessert was actually served, there were four items made in chocolate on my plate. You could even inject your own melted chocolate into the hot brownie. Oh, before I forget, the wine was excellent as well. After the 3 hours meal, all of us were very satisfied. Let's just say that if I had much cash, I would eat there with friends every week.\r
* A little tip, if you want the chicken for 2, you might want to call in as it takes an hour to prepare.
Pros: Great service, good food and wine, easy valet parking
Cons: Takes a long time, you can't go there too hungry
